We’re continuing our summer berries celebration with a salute to antioxidant-rich blueberries. Despite their small size, these nutrition powerhouses are packed with vitamins and minerals. Serve them up in these five fun recipes, from classics to new twists.

Pancakes
Liven up pancakes by adding the sweet-and-tart flavor of fresh blueberries. If you don’t like them in the batter, top buttermilk pancakes with a fresh handful or two.RECIPE: Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes

Sauce
Bought too many berries? Don’t fret. Cook up a blueberry sauce that can stay in your fridge for up to a week. Use to top ice cream, yogurt, crepes, pancakes or French toast.RECIPE: Blueberry Sauce

Cool off with a refreshing fruit ice. This simple recipe has three ingredients and can be prepared in 10 minutes—it’s a perfect recipe to make with the kids.RECIPE: Blueberry Fruit Ice

Cookies
Blueberries are the secret ingredient in these cookies. Use store-bought frozen berries in this recipe when blueberries aren’t at their seasonal peak. You’ll get a mouthful of antioxidants (and crunchy almonds) in every bite.
